Op Login

OpLogin

OpLogin is a Paper plugin that keeps operator accounts usable for normal gameplay while locking operator privileges behind authentication. Operators join in a locked state, unlock only when needed, and return to a protected state automatically or manually.

Features

• Locked operator sessions that disable operator privileges until authentication.
• BCrypt password storage with one-time migration support for older AES-encrypted entries.
• Chat-safe password login flow: /oplogin starts login and the next chat message is captured privately.
• Optional PIN keypad mode with randomized digit positions and custom number heads.
• Manual /oplogout support that immediately locks privileges and clears trusted IP auto-login state.
• Sensitive command protection that overrides whitelist mistakes for high-risk commands.
• Temporary unlock timeouts and optional auto-locking after sensitive commands.
• Failed login attempt tracking with temporary blocking.
• Operator command audit logging.
• Emergency /oplockdown command to force all online operators back into the locked state.
• Trusted IP auto-login support that only applies after a successful authenticated login.

Commands

• /opsetpass <player> <password>
  Console-only. Sets or replaces an operator credential.
• /oplogin
  Starts authentication. In password mode the next chat message is treated as the password. In PIN mode a keypad GUI opens.
• /oplogout
  Locks the current operator session immediately and clears remembered IP login for that operator.
• /resetop <player>
  Console-only. Removes an operator credential.
• /opreload
  Console-only. Reloads config and whitelist data.
• /oplockdown
  Console-only. Forces all online operators back into the locked state.

Authentication Modes

Password Mode

• Default mode.
• Operators use /oplogin, then type their password in chat.
• Passwords must meet security.min-password-length.

PIN Mode

• Optional and disabled by default.
• Operators use /oplogin and receive a randomized keypad GUI.
• Stored credentials must be numeric and match security.pin-mode.length.
• Number head textures in the keypad use assets from minecraft-heads.com.
  

Important Mode Change Behavior

• Switching between password mode and PIN mode resets all stored operator credentials and trusted IP entries on the next startup or /opreload.
• This is intentional so text passwords cannot remain active in PIN mode, and PIN-only credentials do not carry over into password mode.

Installation

1. Download the latest jar.
2. Place it in the server plugins directory.
3. Start the server once to generate config.yml and whitelist.yml.
4. Configure the plugin and reload or restart the server.

Configuration

config.yml

Relevant options:

security:
  min-password-length: 8
  max-login-attempts: 3
  block-duration: 15

  unlock-duration-seconds: 300
  auto-lock-ops-on-join: true

    title: '&8OpLogin PIN'

Notes:

• enable-ip-auto-login remembers the IP only after a successful authenticated login.
• Using /oplogout clears the remembered IP for that operator immediately.
• If PIN mode is enabled, credentials set with /opsetpass must be numeric and match the configured PIN length.

whitelist.yml

Commands listed here can still be used while locked, except for sensitive commands that are always blocked until authentication.

Default example:

whitelisted-commands:
  - help
  - oplogin
  - list
